LWAutoBench

LWAutoBench is an application that makes running benchmarks with LightWave easy. Currently, only a PC version is available.

Download LWAutoBench for Win32 by clicking on the download link in the menu on the left side of this page.

After unzipping and launching the application, simply enter your contact information into the form fields. LWAutoBench automatically analyzes your computer to determine the hardware, operating system and LightWave specifications. To render a benchmark scene, simply make sure that the path to the lwsn.exe and content directories are correct, select the appropriate scene in the drop-down list and click the "Start Benchmark" button. Once the render is complete, your information will be automatically transmitted to the LightWave Benchmark site located at http://www.blanos.com/benchmark/.

That's it. Render as many scenes as you want as many times as you want. At this time (July 2006), LWAutobench supports the following standard benchmark scenes: Depth Of Field, Nebulae, Radiosity Box, Radiosity Reflective Things, Raytrace, Teapot, Textures, Tracer No-Radiosity, Tracer Radiosity, Variations and Zbuffer Sort. All of these scenes ship with LightWave.

Please note that LWAutoBench is still a fairly new application that interfaces with a fairly new database and script to record benchmark data. In other words, there will probably be a few bugs. If you find anything strange, please contact me and I'll do my best to sort out the problems. Thanks!
